Age Limits In the UK/USA/CND

Recently, i was talking with a friend on Microsoft Messenger (MSN) Live, and I was amazed to find out about the United Kingdom(UK)'s age laws. the first thing that came to head was, how unfair, and then how appalling. Therefore, i decided to look this up a bit, and found this little bit, http://www.ubersite.com/m/28580(Warning: discriminatory language).

Although I'm not in the United States of America(USA), our age limits are similar, so i hope you can get the idea.
How ever, according to the website the following age limits are; and including Canada(CND) from myself.
UK - USA - CND
SEX 16 - 18 - 18
Driving 17 -16/18- 16
Alcohol 18 -18/21- 18
Smoking 16 - 18 - 18
Marriage 16 -12-21- 18

Now I personally agree mostly with Canada's age limits, the US, i can deal with, and the UK is just appalling.

First I'm going to rant about the UK, then the USA, and finally CND.
Although i have only been to Holland in the UK, I'd suspect that its a bit screwed up, but does work to a certain degree.

The Sex Age Limit(UK)
In the UK it is 16, and even though i am 17, i find it quite disturbing, especially after reading a great book that was for a novel studies in grade 11, "A Brave New World." You can find more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_World, it is a definite MUST READ. Anyway, people all over the world are complaining about how grotesque underage(18) sex is, which should be enough. However, it isn't, and i believe that a better explanation is needed. During that age, people are still growing mentally and physically; from my experience, i only recently began to mentally stabilize once i hit 16, and am still getting my barrings at the age of 17. So think of it this way, people will make many mistakes in deciding who or why they want to have sex. Not to mention, the lower limit promotes sex at ages such as 14, because people think that it is only a 2 year difference, so what wrong with that? Another reason is that it is disrupting age laws in CND and the USA, simply because teenagers are learning about the age limit in the UK. Teens in America are most likely thinking that, because it is 16 they can do it here as well. further more, because 16 is the limit, they should be able to have sex at the age of 14! Do you really want to have to take care of a kid when your 14, or do you want your children to bare babies?

Muscle & Strength - Work out information

When people first begin to body build, or even attempt to get into shape, they might think, how do i do this? or will this help?

well, i'd say that the best website to get all of your body building needs, and even dieting, or anything related to your body's health, is http://www.muscleandstrength.com

Now, at first you might think, "wow, this looks like shit," but if you look deeper into it, you'll find out about a moderate sized database with everything that you will ever need. On top of that, if you cant seem to find what your looking for, you could always check out the forums. Surprisingly the community is great! rather than being stereotypically aggressive, because of the extra aggressive hormones, and/or vanity.

Illegal Movies - Online

Quite recently i had sent an e-mail to megavideo.com and have requested them to remove some video clips. the disturbing thing is that after a month, there had been no reply.

In my personal opinion, megavideo.com should be brought down by justice, because they are one of the worlds TOP illegal movie hosts, even though they state that it is against the Terms of Agreements. However, what exactly have they done to prevent this? practically nothing!

From my understanding, most of megavideo.com's traffic comes from these illegal movies, but they wouldn't want to admit to that, so they most likely have an extremely small amount of people working to get rid of them. here is the sad part! megavideo.com could simply create a script, like Google recently has, to remove their videos, and automatically delete illegal copies.

Some people might claim this to be impossible, and indeed they are completely incorrect. using google can be an extremely powerful site, for example, if megavideo.com were really attempting to fix things, they'd use a simple script to remove the results provided by google.
Try searching, "megavideo site:alluc.org"
or, "megavideo site:nabolister.com"
essentially, megavideo could have removed every illegal copy from their servers in less than an hour!

So whats your opinion? should megavideo.com be caught for willingly hosting illegal content?

Please note that these are only my observations.

Underage Drinking!

Have you ever wondered how many people do underage drinking? or weather their are more females or males? well here is your chance.

Today while surfing on facebook through some random photographs, i realized that they were drinking, and were obviously too young, because they were my age! So this got me on a train-of-thought, and all of a sudden, poof! Underage drinking was entered in the google search bar.

The first thing i found was actually quite disturbing;
from :http://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/quickstats/underage_drinking.htm
I discovered that in the year 2007, a survey of students from high schools was taken, and here are the results:

* 45% drank some amount of alcohol.
* 26% binge drank.
* 11% drove after drinking alcohol.
* 29% rode with a driver who had been drinking alcohol.

Essentially 45% of high school students who were underage drank! To me that is quite surprising, considering most of my friends do not, but on the other hand, on the other portion of people, they are always drinking, doing drugs and what ever you can think of.

If you click here, you can find the survey taken, and other links to different statistics including a 2006 drug usage analysis.

Another wonderful page that provides information on this topic is: http://alcoholnews.org/underage_drink.html
This page includes not only some statistics, but a bit of history. if you quite interested in this topic, you may want to go grab yourself a cup of coffee, and check it out.

After visiting : http://www.niaaa.nih.gov/AboutNIAAA/NIAAASponsoredProgra
ms/underage.htm
I found the content extremely interesting, and i quote from them, "Each year, approximately 5,000 young people under the age of 21 die as a result of underage drinking; this includes about 1,900 deaths from motor vehicle crashes, 1,600 as a result of homicides, 300 from suicide, as well as hundreds from other injuries such as falls, burns, and drownings (For references, see NIAAA’s publication Alcohol Alert No. 67, Underage Drinking." Even though statistically the numbers are quite small, they are still surprising and interesting.

Now after being engulfed by a pile of information, what do you think about "underage drinking?"

Redirecting Using PHP

Tutorial name: Redirecting using PHP
You're experience: Advanced
Difficulty: Anyone
Time Taken: 5-30 seconds
Plug-ins needed: none

Creating a redirecting script is quite easy, however keep in mind that some primitive hosts are not able to do this with any other code, I found it very disappointing.
On the server I use this works no matter what, but I have found that on very few servers, it only works if nothing has been written on the page.
Code:
header("Location: http://anoobsworld.info"); // your URL goes in there.
?>

Basic PHP Functions

Tutorial name: Functions with PHP
You're experience: Advanced
Difficulty: Average
Time Taken: 1-2 minutes
Plug-ins needed: none.


Functions with php are fairly simple.

First of all what is a function? it is a small tid bit of code that is ran each time it is called, and it allows for information to be returned, outputted, and inputted. In away, you can replace classes with functions, it ain't to hard, but it is possible. I use functions rather than classes because i feel more comfortable with them.

i will show you two things, how to use a function, and how to replace classes with them for developed coders, another time.

This will show you the basics to functions.
Code:
function repeatString($string, $times) // you can use what ever variables you want, and however many you want.
{
$count = 0;
while($count < $times)
{
echo"\n $string";
$count += 1;
}
}
?>
Blah blah blah...
repeatString("Hello!", 10); // this will echo "Hello!" 10 times
?>


returning variables
Code:
function 50Chance()
{
$rand = rand(0, 1);

return $rand;
]
?>
blah blah blah...
50Chance();
?>


//conditional functions
function ifGreaterThan0($num);
{
if($num > 0)
{
return 1;
}
else
{
return 0;
}
}

PHP Null20

Tutorial name: Text Filtering with PHP
You're experience: Advanced
Difficulty: Novice
Time Taken: 20-60 seconds
Plug-ins needed: none.

Replacing strings with other strings is fairly easy, and the following code will show you how to do so.
Code:
$string = "I like you";
echo $string . "\n";
$string = str_replace("like", "love", $string); //str_replace(what to change, what to change to, the input);
echo $string . "\n"; // you will end up with, "i love you"


Now to be a bit creative
Code:
$patterns = array(":)", ":(", ":O", "Wow...");
$replacements = array("I'm Happy!", "I'm Sad", "I'm Shocked!", "OMFG that was AMAZING, like WOW!");
$string = "I am a very good actor! :), :(, :O, they loved it, everyone said, \"Wow...\"\n";
echo $string;
$string = str_replace($patterns, $replacements, $string);
echo $string;
// it should end up as, "I am a very good actor! I'm Happy!, I'm Sad, I'm Shocked!, they loved it, everyone said,
// "OMFG that was AMAZING, like WOW!"

Autosizing Images with PHP

This simple PHP function will show you how to create an auto-sizing imaging system, which is especially handy when users are uploading their own images that may be a 1000 meters wide and high; it prevents people from destroying the layout to your site.
writePicture
Code:
function writePicture($image, $maxwidth, $maxheight)
{
if($image !== "")
{
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($image);
if($width > $maxwidth)
{
$constant = $maxwidth/$width;
$width = $constant * $width;
$height = $constant * $height;
}
if($height > $height)
{
$constant = $maxheight/$height;
$width = $constant * $width;
$height = $constant * $height;
}
echo"";
}
else
{
if($maxwidth < 1){ $maxwidth = 100; } if($maxheight < 1) { $maxheight = 100;}
echo"";
}
}

Working Out

Ok, well, since i'm working out, i thought it might be a good idea to great a guide for it. It would most likely prove to help put my research together.
Before you start

My stuffed husky dog, and my weights...
i need a stand for them.

Please note that if you can't even get yourself to read every detail of this article, then i suggest that you give up, because you will most likely waste a lot of money, give up, and/or injure yourself badly.

Getting Started

The first thing you need to know is that you need to do excessive amounts of stretching, and this will most likely make you more flexible in the long run, but don't think that you can stop because you are can move all over the place.
Stretching is a key factor, without it you will most likely get some sort of injury, and the most common one would be tendonitis. I would suggest that you try to stay away from this, because it can be quite annoying. you may also know tendonitis as tennis elbow.
Warming up is also important, like stretching, without getting ready you may end up pulling a few muscles or even worse, tendonitis.

Safety and Quality Over Quantity
While exercising your main concern should not be quantity, you should be focusing more on quality, preventing injuries, and avoiding permanent damage.
Muscle/strength/endurance building should be your secondary objective

Pain
Pain after exercising is unusual, but don't panic, all you need to do is stretch more the next time. If it lasts for more than one day, take a few resting periods. If you still seem to have the pains, even after 2 or 3 days of straight resting, than consult your doctor.

Workout Routines
The basics are obviously pretty simple, every day you need to remember to rest the muscle that you worked on for at least one day after working out, sometime you are required two days.
From my experiences i have concluded that you should be working 3 times a week for optimal results, but this is over ruled if you get an injury of some sort.
My own routine is, upper body, core, upper body, core, upper body, core, and rest.
Be careful that you do not mix up your exercises, you don't want to be working on your bicep brachii on a core day.
You may have noticed that i have left out the lower body, this is because my preference would be to use a separate schedule, you will see why later on.

Weight and Fat
Many people will say that it is inevitable that you gain fat when working out, because of the extra calories that you take. This is not entirely true, but it does take quite some work if you want to optimize your time.
In order to this, you need to think towards about when you are losing weight. There is the dieting portion, which is what most people pay attention to, but there is also the cardiovascular part.
Does it make sense yet?
While you take the heavy dieting, you need to make yourself sweat!
Jog around a field, ride a bike, or do what ever makes you out of breath.

When do you stretch?
When body building it is vital that you stretch, you must spend at least 10-30 minutes on the muscles that you are about to use. That's not nearly enough though, between every set, your resting period you must stretch the muscle that you are currently working on, also if you feel stiff on muscles that you have already done, don't feel afraid to loosen them up as well. By the end of your workout you shouldn't be unable to move, maybe a bit shaky and tired, but your arms should feel fine other than weak and worn out. Like a warm up, you need a cool down, don't just stop and say, "thats it, i'm done," you need to push yourself to remove the tension; you've already pushed yourself to do the heavy lifting, so why can't you do a little extra?

2-hydroxypropanoic acid - milk acid - lactic acid
C3H6O // check out, does lactic acid cause tendonitis.

Lactic Acid - Biproduct of Anaerobic exercise.

Dieting

When dieting to grow muscles or to lose weight it is not as obvious or as hard as it seems. it really depends for what you are trying to do, many people will say that you should "pig out" while trying to build muscles, and starve while losing that big pot that you have accumulated.

This is all wrong, you do not need to pig out, it is best that you follow the canadian food guide; there is no need for excessive amounts protein. my suggestion would to pick up a pack of beef jerky every day; most people love it, and it provides not just the muscle building blocks, but the salt that you lose when you perspire.

Starvation is the worst thing you can do, the only thing that you really need to do is eat your meals slowly, take the time to chew your food, and spread your meals out through out the day. I would recommend that you have 6 meals a day, not snacks, you need to follow the food guide. A great example would be to make a nice steak; add some onions, mushrooms, and a bit of butter.
Plan your meals, most diets go wrong because of slacking off, if you were to spend 30 minutes everyday deciding what you are going to eat that great!

Calorie Counting - BMRs and TDEEs
Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is determined by a number of factors, but in general, it depends on your height, weight, sex, and age.

Harris-Benedict's Formula
The first step is to convert your weight to kilograms if it isn't already in that form, you can do that by dividing it by 2.2.

Body Weight in pounds/2.2 = Body Weight in KG

The next thing you need to do is turn your height into Centimeters; this is done by multiplying inches by 2.54.

1 foot = 12 inches
Height in inches * 2.54 = height in centimeters.

Finally we get to the formula.

For males

BMR = 65.5 + 13.75(body weight in kg) + 5(height in cm) - 6.8(age)
For females

BMR = 655 + 9.6(body weight in kg) + 1.8(height in cm) - 4.7(age)

This is what my BMR would be.

65.5 + 13.75(60) + 5(185.42)-6.8(16)
65.5 + 825 + 927.1 - 108.8 = 1 708.8 calories.

Drawbacks
The problem with the Harris-Benedict's formula is that it does not account for you body type. If the person is muscular they're count would be underestimated, and if they have too much fat, it will be overestimated.

Katch-McArdle's Formula
For lean body masses you need to use a different equation.

The Katch-McArdle Formula can be used to determine how many calories you need when you know your lean body mass. As a result, it is will be more accurate calculation than the Harris-Benedict Formula.

In this formula you only need your body weight in kilograms, so like before you need to divide your weight in pounds by 2.2.


BMR = 370 + (21.6 x bodyweight in kg)


the total daily energy expenditure(TDEE) depends on how active you are.
Below are some estimations of your multipliers; chose one carefully.

Little or No Exercise, Desk Job
TDEE = 1.2 x BMR

Light Exercise, Sports 1 to 3 Times Per Week
TDEE = 1.375 x BMR

Moderate Exercise, Sports 3 to 5 Times Per Week
TDEE = 1.55 x BMR

Heavy Exercise, Sports 6 to 7 Times Per Week
TDEE = 1.725 x BMR

Very heavy exercise, Physical Job, Training 2 Times Per Day
TDEE = 1.9 x BMR

Here is what my TDEE would be:
TDEE = BMR x Activity Multiplier

TDEE = 1,708.8 x 1.725

TDEE = 2 947.94 calories per day

TDEE = 2 948 (with sig digs of course)

Also keep in mind that the average male teenage can use up an extra 1000 calories without any extra work.
Making my TDEE range from 2 948 - 3948 calories.

all of this means is that i can maintain my weight by consuming 2 948 - 3948 calories.

We Think Alike

How many people in the world think the same way?

Just ask yourselves, how many times have you had the same idea as another person, or how many times have you agreed with different human.
We Think Alike; we all know that 2+2=4.

This blog is a place for learning, agreeing, disagreeing, and even arguing.
Let everyone put their thoughts together, and see what we get; a master piece, maybe, or a disaster!
